Strategic Focus
The Fungal Phytopathology and Biotechnology Group (FITOBIOL) will develop research and outreach projects, as well as the provision of services to the external community, in areas related to plant health, as well as the use of biocontrollers for pests management and diseases of interest, incorporating new biotechnological tools for the development of such projects. It is expected to carry out both basic and applied research and, in that sense, the aim is to link some of the results of such projects with companies that allow their use in the field for the solution of the agricultural problem. The development of research and the provision of services to the community, will be carried out by teachers, undergraduate and graduate students of Universidad de Antioquia, as well as other national and international external people, after signing framework agreements for academic cooperation and confidentiality.
